Real Debrid, a service allowing download torrents without waiting to view streaming content more quickly and without limits, is in the crosshairs of French justice. Piracy, which had exploded during confinement, is a scourge for rights holders, and the National Federation of Film Editors has decided to act to force Real Debrid to sanction illegal use of his tool.
Real Debrid announces strong measures against piracy
By allowing its users to quickly download files online, watch movies and listen to music streaming, Real Debrid has attracted a large hacker community. Renowned for its responsive customer service and reliability, the site, whose price is unbeatable, has experienced significant expansion in recent years. But all “good things” must come to an end, and the National Federation of Film Editors has put the site on notice to force it to act against this illegal use of its services. The FNEF threatens to take legal action against Real Debrid if the site does not take drastic measures to protect rights holders.
On its X account, Real Debrid shared with Internet users the list of actions put in place to block piracy. In practice, this means that the site announced the blocking cyberlockers, these hosts generating web links to allow users to access illicit content, including pirated films and series, for example. The site will also implement filtering by file name, which may result in false positives (which they will process manually). He will also block “audiovisual files available on a certain number of hosts appearing on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List”“. So many restrictions that will scare away Real Debrid users…
And you, do you think that these measures will be enough to stem piracy?
